I would really appreciate some good leads for
economically/socially/environmentally sustainable Agroforestry projects.
Ideally, I would like to demonstrate the economic viability of a mixture of
commercially attractive trees, and shorter rotations commercial crops.
I have been developing/financing/marketing/managing forestry projects in
Chile for 8 years now, and am very familiar with the economics and
logistics of growing/harvesting/selling mixed native hardwoods. I would
like to identify some compatible shade tolerant crops with commercial
potential.
Alternatively, I would be interested in ideas for a tropical site, if the
basic numbers look good.
I think Agroforesty has tremendous potential for improving overall forest
management and land utilization, but I need more info on the "Agro" side.
